In November of 1996, Planet Bike was founded in Madison, Wisconsin. In many ways, Planet Bike began as a social experiment that dedicated itself to doing business in a different way. Instead of being just another company that develops and sells products with profit as its end goal, Planet Bike wanted to help bring about positive change for people, their communities, and the environment.
Despite being a simple machine, the people at Planet Bike have always believed that the bicycle has great potential to help improve the world and the lives of the people in it. From the start, they have embraced an alternative corporate purpose which seeks to help get more people on bicycles by making communities friendlier places for the self-propelled. By donating 25% of company profits to causes that promote and facilitate bicycle usage, Planet Bike hopes to make an impact.
Social experiments aside, Planet Bike was born from the heart of a cyclist with a goal of making innovative, high quality, and practical bicycle accessories. Simply put, they strive to design and develop the best bicycle products in the world. In the company's short ten year history, they have made important product innovations within the bicycle industry. Advancements include the 4-line computer which is now a standard in the industry and the world's first self-contained HID light. Not bad for a company that ten years ago started as a one man operation. Today, while still a small company, Planet Bike continues to evolve and improve their product line with the goal of always striving to build accessories that make it easier for people to ride their bikes. Since 1996, Planet Bike's financial support of the grassroots bicycle movement has totaled $500,000. By 2010, they have made a goal to donate $1 million to organizations that are dedicated to making America a friendlier place for cyclists.
Sports reviews of Planet Bike 3044 Blaze 1-Watt LED Headlight
Customer Review: easy to attach; lights up bike path
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I got this light for my kids and myself. It works great. Once you figure out the adjustments the mounting system is easy and flexible. There are 2 ways to adjust the size of the clamp and can be put on a variety of tube sizes. the light is bright enough to light up the way in front of the bike. I have no complaints. this seems to be very good value for the money.Customer Review: Planet Blinky 1 watt headlamp
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
Nice construction, mount seemed to take a bit of effort to secure, did wrap the handlebars with a layer of electrical friction tape which made the mount solid. Light does seem bright, but do have trouble seeing if the pavement is black and wet and faced with oncoming cars. The light is plenty bright to be seen by cars and anything else.Customer Review: Excellent light

This is a great little light! Plenty bright for my nighttime city riding, flash mode when you just want to be seen, easy to switch between bicycles, and weeks later I have yet to replace the included batteries. When my girlfriend is riding in front of me, she always comments that she feels like there's a car headlight behind her!Customer Review: works great!

Very happy with this little light. I've been using it for commuting and it works great even on some really dark trails. I may end up picking up a second one eventually so I can direct one for closer distances and the other for further out, but it already throws a pretty wide beam. Great light.Customer Review: Excellent bike lamp

As good as they get, unless you step up to the >$100 range.
Smaller than expected.
No problem attaching it to the bike
Bright enough to see by, if you have young eyes like my daughter.
Not had it long enough to judge battery life
